Patent number: 10597667Abstract: Transcription factor polynucleotides and polypeptides incorporated into nucleic acid constructs, including expression vectors, have been introduced into plants and were ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these constructs have been shown to be more resistant to disease (in some cases, to more than one pathogen), or more tolerant to an abiotic stress (in some cases, to more than one abiotic stress). The abiotic stress may include, for example, salt, hyperosmotic stress, water deficit, heat, cold, drought, or low nutrient conditions.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: Peter P. Repetti, T. Lynne Reuber, Oliver Ratcliffe, Karen S. Century, Katherine Krolikowski, Robert A. Creelman, Frederick D. Hempel, Roderick W. Kumimoto, Luc J. Adam, Neal I. Gutterson, Roger Canales, Emily L. Queen, Jennifer M. Costa

Publication number: 20200010844Abstract: The application describes producing polynucleotide variants of the AtHB 17 clade members and introducing the mutant variants into plants to improve plant traits. The mutant polynucleotides encode polypeptides that comprise mutations in the EAR motifs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Robert A. Creelman, Marjorie R. Lundgren, Suqin Cai, Hans E. Holtan, Graham J. Hymus, Oliver J. Ratcliffe, T. Lynne Reuber, Amanda J. Burek, Shiv B. Tiwari, Luc J. Adam, Colleen M. Marion, Megan Lau, Bonnie R.
